The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center houses and cares for precious artifacts related to the First Couple of Comedy. Your support is needed to guarantee the Lucy-Desi Collection will be preserved for future generations. A one-time gift of $2500 will make you a lifetime member of the Lucy-Desi Center Acquisitions Society. Your name will be included on a list of other special folks who recognize the importance of adding to and preserving the wonderful artifacts entrusted to the care of the Lucy-Desi Center. In July, 2005, the Lucy-Desi Center Acquisitions Society was created to generate funds to care for and add significant Lucy-Desi artifacts to the Center’s collection as they become available. Through the generosity of the Founding Members of the Acquisitions Society, the Lucy-Desi Center now owns the famous prop cello that Lucy used in the vaudeville act she and Desi created to convince CBS that the American public would accept Desi as her television husband. This cello was also a prop in the pilot for “I Love Lucy” and again in episode #6, “The Audition”. Founding members of the Acquistions Society include Desi Arnaz, Jr. and Lucie Arnaz. We invite you to add your name to this prestigious list. To show our appreciation, for one year you will receive full Lucy-Desi Museum membership benefits at the Executive Producer level, including free Museum admission and guest passes, Gregg Oppenheimer's book "Laughs, Luck...and Lucy", a pin, wristwatch, autographed festival poster and more. Thank you for your terrific support! |
